1 z Systems Sandbox in the cloud A New Way to Learn Mike Fulton IBM Dis@nguished Engineer Master Inventor fultonm@ca.ibm.com

2 Why z Systems are Amazing Continued aggressive investment/ innovation out of 10 of the world s largest insurers Largest caches in the industry (960M L4) Un-matched hot-swap tech. for HA (6x9s) of the top 25 US retailers out of 25 of the world s largest airlines Massive IO processing b/w (640 co-proc) of the top 100 worldwide banks Processing the world s transactions & data 80 percent 30 billion business transactions processed on the mainframe per day of the world s corporate data resides or originates on mainframes 91 percent 55 percent of surveyed CIOs said that new customerfacing applications are accessing the mainframe of all enterprise applications need the mainframe to complete transactions Leading Single-thread perf (5GHz) Crypto acceleration/bandwidth (130k sign/sec)

3 Why it was hard to learn about z Systems

4 But then IBM Created zpdt

5 With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility zpdt is Powerful, but it is Complex zpdt provides the full system to you That s Great! I can do ANYTHING zpdt provides the full system to you That Sucks! I am not a systems programmer zpdt gives you the full machine for beper and worse

6 The following content is a proposal (experiment) IBM s statements regarding its plans, direc@ons, and intent are subject to change or withdrawal without no@ce at IBM s sole discre@on. Informa@on regarding poten@al future products is intended to outline our general product direc@on and it should not be relied on in making a purchasing decision. The informa@on men@oned regarding poten@al future products is not a commitment, promise, or legal obliga@on to deliver any material, code or func@onality. Informa@on about poten@al future products may not be incorporated into any contract. The development, release, of any future features or func@onality described for our products remains at our sole discre@on. Performance is based on measurements and projec@ons using standard IBM benchmarks in a controlled environment. The actual throughput or performance that any user will experience will vary depending upon many factors, including considera@ons such as the amount of mul@programming in the user s job stream, the I/O configura@on, the storage configura@on, and the workload processed. Therefore, no assurance can be given that an individual user will achieve results similar to those stated here.

7 An Experiment: RITz Rapid Intelligent for System z (RITz) is under Development With RITz, you: Go to Bluemix (IBM s Cloud Dev Environment) request a preconfigured z System (pay as you go) in seconds, you have your own system log in to your system with your userid/password and start learning use a modern Web UI to access the system No need for a fancy laptop - you just need a web browser

8 Log in to Bluemix

9 Create your own RITz Sandbox

10 Log in to your z/os System

11 Work with a Modern Web UI

12 Next Steps Imagine: Enabling people to save their environment, then share it with others For Example: Developing a COBOL or Java z/os 101 Course (code, data, videos, ) Saving the course as an image or template Students then create their own RITz environment, using your image Every student gets their own independent, isolated z/os system When you are done the course, throw away the system Share this image with other educators using RITz around the world Or: Crea@ng a demo image of your z/os so_ware and sharing it Crea@ng an app image for risk-free experimenta@on

13 Sponsor Users We are looking for a small number of sponsor users To try out our experiment To give us feedback on the current tech ² z/os pre-configured system on So_Layer To work with us on where we might go next ² So_ware management services ² Other opera@ng systems
